Katie Schofield, 32, thought she couldn't have 'anything else wrong with her'

Katie Schofield, 32, suffered mental health issues after her mum Sandra, 53, died and gained five stone. She had a gastric sleeve operation in Turkey, and while she said she wasn't happy with the procedure, she lost lots of weight.

“I suffered loads of complications - like a blood clot in my main portal vein, two blood clots in my right arm and a throat-and-lung infection. But a month later, I finally started to feel like myself again, and I could enjoy my new body. But in 2017, after going into remission she began experiencing a severely bloated stomach. After a year going “back-and-forth” to the GP, she was eventually re-diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May 2017 - and died on August 27.

And on May 2, 2023, she spent £4350 to fly to Adana, Turkey and get the op, and suffered a number of side effects such as rapid weight loss and a blood clot. Finally she started to feel better and after five months of “normality” - Katie found a pea-sized lump in her left breast while showering. Katie said: “I was furious. If my dad was a female - this never would’ve happened. My dad still won't go to his appointments without taking me - because he feels like it's a 'woman's disease'.
